Answer:

5

Explanation:

The polynomial of the form
ax+b=0 will have a maximum of one root or zeros because the highest degree of the variable is one.

The polynomial of the form
ax^2+bX+C=0 will have a maximum of two root or zeros because the highest degree of the variable is two.

similarly

The polynomial of the form
ax^5+bx^4+cx^3+dx^2+eX+f=0 will have a maximum of five root or zeros because the highest degree of the variable is five.
